ADVANCED INSTRUCTION TO KEEP TEENS
SAFE BEHIND THE WHEEL

Our full-day course combines valuable classroom time with seven instructive driving sessions designed to let participants put their new-found skills into practice behind the wheel of a road car. In the morning, drivers will rotate through four practical sessions concentrating on proper steering technique, skid control and recovery, emergency braking and accident avoidance under braking, and emergency lane changes at 40 mph.

In the afternoon, it’s out onto the slalom course, where we touch on many important aspects of road driving, including the concept of “lateral load transfer”. Following that, we embark on our distracted driver course, which explores ways of avoiding the various forms of distraction lying in wait for modern drivers. Finally, we take our emergency lane change exercises to the next level, empowering students with the tools to perform this vital maneuver at speeds of up to 65 mph.

As a bonus, the time spent on this course can be applied to the 60-hour pre-license driving time requirement for minors.

We encourage guests to watch the opening talk. If they would like to stay for the remainder of the day, they are welcome to view from the sidelines.
